THE BIBLE SOCIETY.
A Great Orator Expected Next Month.

The annual business meeting of the
Bible Society of Virginia will be held
the second Tuesday in April. This date
falls this year on April 9Th. The ami
versary meeting for the public will, it is
expected, take place on the second Sun
day following, April 18th.
1t is expected that Rev. DR.. Talmage,
of Brooklyn, will deliver the annual adj
dress. 1t is known that he has been
prominently mentioned in this connec-
ton. The recent family affliction of the
venerated president of the society has in
terrupted the correspondence, but it is
more than probable that DR.. Talmage
will accept. He has now additional rea-
sions for coming to Richmond, as one Of
his daughters is among us and of us. DR..
Talmage can have large audience on
any night of the week if his engagements
prevent him from coming on Sunday.
Rev. DR.. John Hall, of New York, was
the orator last year.

Horses of Quality.

The highest class Of carriage and saddle
horses 10 be found in New York city come
principally from Kentucky, New York, Yer

Canada, and now and then very choice

Virginia horses have, as rule, more style

them than those from other states, for the
reason that they have greater admixtur- OF

The caste deserve all the good things
that have been said about them. Miss
Lillian Russell has great personal charms

great ability. Zelda Seguin is an old
favorite, and last night was at her best,
and her lovely contralto was heard to
great advantage. Vernona Jarbeau is a
dashing brunette, with a pleasing soprano
voice, and is a decidedly clever actress.
OF the male members of the caste, Harry
S. billiards tenor voice was probably the
most noticeable, which is exceedingly
sweet and under good control. The two
comedians, Ryley and DUNCAN, made de-
cided hits, and brought out the absurd
features of the opera to the best advan-
tage by their easy and unexaggerated
style of acting. Miss Cleveland, Mr.. Nash,
and others contributed to the success Of
the opera.
The chorus is one of the strongest that
has been here for years. The orchestra
fairly divided the honors of the evening.
The opera was beautifully mounted and
elegantly costumed, and "The Trip to

successes of the season. The company

REVIEW.
New York. March 1.-The tone Of to-
davis market has been very different to that
of Yesterday. The temper OF the foreign
market seems to be turning towards the bull
side, and with any encouragement from us,
they would probably become free purchasers
again Of our securities.
With the adjournment of Congress the
public NAV be more inclined TO interest them
selves. and if our market here shows strong
tendency we may see some revival from
abroad The outlook is fairly promising in
all trade circles, and general business is in
good shape for the Spring trade. The closing
was strong. Money per cent.

BONEBRAKE-BRYSUN BLOCK.
Some of the OFFICES to be Located



Therein.
On the 2Sth instant proposals for the
construction OF the Bonebrake- -Bryson
building, on the corner of Second and
Spring streets, will be opened. The
contract will probably be let on the
first of the new year. and work will
commence as soon thereafter as the
material can be obtained and placed
on the ground. 1t will take the con-
tractors about sixty days to get out
enough material to start, and the
probabilities are that the building will
not be finished until next fall. When
finished and ready for occupancy it
will be one of the handsomest blocks
in the city, if its picture is q true rep
resentation. 1t will contain number
of prominent offices. which will make
it an important building in the eyes OF
the public. The Western Uunion Tel
egraph Company will occupy large
portion of it. The company's bait
cries etc. will be stored in the base
ment, and the business department
will occupy the ground floor. The
operating rooms will be located in one
of the upper sto les. Up stairs the
United States Government has Sc
cered quarters for the United States
Courts and Clerks and Marshals' Off
ces. 1t will also contain the central
offices of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa te company, and it is stated
that portion OF the building will be
occupied by a large financial firm,
whose principal business it will be to
loan money on long terms on real es-
tate and other secu tiles. When all
these offices are located on the corner
of Second and Spring streets the mer-
chants will find matters more conven-
lent than at present, when they are
scattered so widely.

return t. England in regal state. A
first he, what is termed flew
high and looked with scorn OF
openings in commercial houses Offered
him by friends in the city until they
becoming tired of having their offer
declined, decided to leave him to hi
fate. and he gradually descended from
his high estate to the position he q
present occupies--that of sheep
herdcr in Monterey county, at which
soulless occupatic n he has been on
gagged for the past eight months.
A--B--arrived in Los Angeles three
years ago with four trunks OF clothe-
and his inside pocket well-lined with
drafts and greenbacks. He was 90
ing ''to show the Yankees how tc
dress"-at the present time he wears
overalls and flannels and works as a
laborer in vineyard in the San Ga
briel valley.
A bright young Englishman passed
six wears at one of the leading publ,
schools, had some $4,000 spent on his
education, and was started in the world
with $2500-the result of all this il
that he resigned the position OF driv.
ing swill-wagon in town the other
day, to follow the more aristocratiC
employment of laborer on the Santa
Fe railroad.
And these are only few specimens
OF hundreds of similar cases that
are to be found scattered all over the
United States and Canada. In San
Francisco up to a month or so agc
there was driving street car young
man, one OF whose brothers is &
bishop in the English Church and
another an officer in the Life Guards
the most aristocratic regiment in the
British service. And these failures
are not to be attributed to "black'
sheepishness." In some instances
of course, such is the origin of the
trouble, but happily these cases are
in the minority. The trouble
is that the necessary qualitica
tions of an immigrant have been lack
ing and too much confidence has beer
placed in a good education which
without business methods, is prac
tically useless in the struggle fol
life. when it, solely, is depended upor
for means OF livelihood. Why de
not these individuals return home
again when they find they are failures
here? is a question that is often asked
The answer lies in the fact that very
few men with even the germs of man
liness in them care to acknowle dgt
that they are failures, and it is this
innate pride which induces then
rather to bear with poverty thar
to stand self-confessed as unable
to bear the battle with their fellow
men. 1t is at the fountain-sourct
of the evil where the reformation
should be begun, and to the paren
lies the duty of seeing that the educa
tion of his children shall be practica
enough to enable them to earn thei
own living, no matter how improbabl,
such an event may at the time appear
for none can tell how soon the hour o
adversity will overtake. them.

Moore for some time conducted a
fruit store on Main street between
Third and Fourth streets, where it
was discovered they were occupying
the same room under suspicious cir
cumstances. The neighbors, suspect
ing that all was not right, mentioned
the fact to Mrs. Watson, OF the Girls
Home, and this lady, in company
with an officer, watched the lodging
place of the defendants. They saw
enogh to warrant them in filing an in
formation against them, and their
guilt or innocence is now to be de-
termined by the Court.

Yesterday Judge O'Melveney heard
the case of p. w. Dooner VS.. Jas.
Velsir. The case was given to jury
